Do you think it's had a major financial impact on him? He's a internationally known journalist I doubt he needs the money.
A bit of a weird move from British airways anyway, why would they care who he interviews, it's not like he's endorsing that person. Also the general public actually support Bob Dylan's stance , so again, kind of a ill thought out gesture.
British airways PR team aren't giving it their all it would seem.
Clearly British Airways just wants to establish its brand as a pro-genocide corporation which endorses shooting, bombing and starving innocent people.
Bob Dylan's stance is not the same as Bob Vylan's, I'd wager.
